What to Expect?
Preparation
In the evening, Harrison Road becomes inaccessible to public and private vehicles. Vendors and merchants assemble their shops and lay their products in preparation for another busy night. As the clock ticks at 9:00 PM, the lively night begins. Our team regularly visits this place whenever we come to Baguio City, and we always have an enjoyable shopping experience.
Hundreds of Stores
Hundreds of stores, locally known as “ukay-ukay,” are found in Baguio Night Market. Ukay-ukay is popular in the Philippines and contains primarily secondhand products or quality items sold at a cheaper price. Many people visit this place every night because of its affordability and wide range of choices.
There are various items to buy in Baguio Night Market, which always attracts customers and travelers. Products offered here include bags, footwear, clothing, jewelry, kitchenware, and digital accessories. Moreover, there are souvenir items that you can also buy in this place.
Affordability
Another thing that people love about Baguio Night Market is its affordability. We bought some bonnets (beanies) for ourselves and some scarves as gifts for our friends. The scarves we bought were indigenous products from Sagada, Mountain Province. It is weaved meticulously with beautiful geometric patterns reflecting a native Cordillera design; we bought these scarfs for only PHP 100 each (Around USD 2.00)! Now that’s a great deal!
Hangry? No Problem
After spending hours shopping at Baguio Night Market, your tummy will growl, and you will feel hungry. No worries, because there are a lot of food stalls available in this place. They have burgers, barbeques, cold drinks, and many more. You deserve some good food after those hours of walking.
Security on the Marketplace
Though it is advisable to be cautious while going through the stalls, for the public’s safety, the stretch of the Market strip is manned by the Baguio Police Force. They also enforce the order and flow of the people coming in and out of the place.
